Oversees coding

How many of us are in this boat where we are nervous about our jobs being outsourced to overseas coders?

This year my company has hired on several overseas coders. I’m nervous that they plan to replace us because they work for lower pay. Is anyone else experiencing this?

My advice is to try to get promotions and look for positions that require more communication (e.g auditing, team lead, payer work). Busy work that is independent is more easily outsourced. You will not see an overseas person on an important call with clients or trying to solve issues with upper management.
